The Freedom the Road Affords

I thought about this earlier, when I was first in Switzerland and on my way to Lucern. The day before, I had heard that Lucern was a beautiful scenic spot. Something right outta a Ricola commercial.. The hills are alive! When I got there it was overcast all day..but that’s besides the point. Well I guess it is more ‘next to the point’, adjacent cause its related. Anyway, I heard about Lucern one day, then was there the next.. THAT is the freedom of the road; you can roll where it takes you and switch directions as you feel.

And that freedom is liberating. You do as you feel, when you feel and all is good… but it is a double edged sword. The Road has this freedom as well. It can do what it wants, when it wants and you gotta adapt. There is even less fighting it when you don’t know the language. So when I missed my bus to Prague and was stranded in random German town thanks to a delay and an attendant who misdirected me, I had to adapt. Or retreat, regroup, and replan. Running out of options, I retreated to Basel, Switerland, a safe comfortable spot, where I could make new plans.  Lucky to have a base here with the Amazing Senka!

Sure missing the bus sucked and now I may not see Prague for a lil bit, but that’s all part of the freedom out here; missed connections, opportunities, losses.. You just gotta take em as they come and watch em as they go. As a great, albeit ’confused’, man once said “All flows energy flows according to the whims of the Great Magnet!” You can’t deny it. So sometimes bad things come along in the flow around you, and there’s not much you can do beyond acknowledging them and adjusting your flow accordingly. They may divert your path or make it a lil harder, but , as is my saying out here: [It’s all part of the trip] You just gotta take it and know you’ll be better from the experience cause it’ll lead to something bigger.
